_This_ is what street biking has come to?

I'd seen this video before, but when it's billed as the "ride of the century" I really have to beg to differ

I like to ride. No, I love to ride. And I've broken my fair share of traffic laws along the way. But getting a few hundred bikes to all lamely cruise down the freeway together while some guys do wheelies... that's supposed to be as good as it gets?

Sad.

Go carve some corners. Find some amazingly twisty stretch of deserted highway and drag some knee sliders, toe sliders, pegs. See some new places and meet people along the way. Stay out there for a few days or a few weeks. Now that is riding.

I'll now return you to your regularly scheduled programming.
